HC Deb 15 March 1973 vol 852 c381W
18. Mr. Strang

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will study the likely long-term effects on the structure and composition of the farming community of the continuing increase in the price of agricultural land.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The long-term structure and composition of the farming community will be influenced by a wide range of factors, including land prices. There are several studies, completed and in progress, that cover the different aspects of the subject.
